Extended Abstract:
As part of our ongoing efforts to empower and support women in technology, we are excited to invite you to join us for an enriching discussion that combines expert knowledge with personal experiences, empowering you to take charge of your professional journey.
This meet-up is specifically designed to address a crucial topic that resonates deeply with many professionals in our field: identifying and filling skill gaps to further your career.
The OOP conference has consistently demonstrated a commitment to diversity, with over 30% of its speakers being female. We believe that your expertise and experience would be invaluable contributions to our meet-up, and we are eager to hear your insights on this topic.
Our meet-up aims to provide a platform for women in tech to share strategies, tools, and personal stories on how to identify skill gaps and develop targeted plans to address them. Your participation would not only enrich the discussion but also inspire and motivate others to take proactive steps in their career development.
Key areas we would like to explore during the meet-up include:
- Self-awareness and gap analysis: How to conduct a personal gap analysis to identify areas for improvement and set clear, actionable objectives.
- Skill development strategies: Effective methods for acquiring new skills or enhancing existing ones, including leveraging online courses, workshops, mentorship programs, and networking events.
- Overcoming barriers: Strategies for overcoming common challenges such as imposter syndrome, unconscious bias, and systemic barriers that may hinder career advancement.
Note: This meet-up is free and can also be attended without an OOP-ticket. Everyone is welcome - regardless of gender.
